Chapter 3 Shocked Investigator
The Fifth Research Association of Folklore Affairs was established in the 1980s. The original purpose of its establishment was indeed to study capable people, strangers and supernatural phenomena.
But since the establishment of this association, all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes that we have seen are all fake!
It is even said that from the 1980s to modern times, the association has not seen any real "paranormal phenomena" or so-called capable people in the past few decades.
Most of the things sent from all over the country are cattle and horses, either to defraud money or to defraud attention - they are all liars!
After verification, various people have revealed prototypes. Because of this, the scale of the association has been eliminated from the initial thousands of people. By the 1920s, the number of people in the association had dropped to one The amount of slaps can be counted.
Under such circumstances, the association has not been laid off.
The reason is that this place is used to house some dissatisfied people, such as Zhou Anrui who was discharged from the army and transferred to another place.
He has been in charge of the association for six years. At first, he looked through the files and records of various associations and was a little surprised at the various talented people who cheated money. Later, he just spent his days waiting for retirement.
However, Zhou Anrui has been unable to sit still for the past six months.
He learned from some sources that the Fifth Research Association was about to be laid off!
No one else in the association knew the news yet, and Zhou Anrui, as the president, did not inform other people in the association.
Right now, I just used the excuse of investigating a new reported incident to make a special trip to Shanhai City to find old acquaintances to see if I could keep this association going.
In fact, President Zhou was still dreaming that the reported incident of opening the portal would be true when he set off.
If this is the case, their association can directly turn around and come back to life.
...
Zhou Anrui and Liu Qi took the train to Shanhai City that afternoon. President Zhou was missing early in the morning, so the task of meeting Chen Lin was naturally assigned to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi first went out to have a good time. Anyway, the expenses could be reimbursed after he returned. When it was approaching noon, Liu Qi finally remembered the purpose of his trip.
He found out the address, took a car to the neighborhood, and then dialed Chen Lin's number.
For Liu Qi, it is extremely simple to verify what Chen Lin said about the portal - just let Chen Lin use the ability of the portal in front of him.
Most of the capable people and strangers who swear by the association will simply become silent in front of the personnel sent by the association.
Either they made excuses saying that the preparation conditions were insufficient, or they used various gimmicks to say that the time and place were not right. In short, no one could show their magical abilities in person.
After all, these people are all liars!
The call was connected. Chen Lin on the other side of the phone was surprised at how quickly the association sent people. He originally thought it would really take a week.
Liu Qi asked for the detailed address, and the two quickly decided to meet at a certain restaurant.
Chen Lin simply packed up and set off directly. The restaurant he decided on was not far from the house he rented, and it only took a few minutes to walk.
As soon as he walked into the door of the restaurant, Chen Lin immediately saw a fat young man waving to him inside.
Liu Qi looks ordinary. His work in the association in the past few years has been simple and boring. He is much fatter than when he first joined.
"Chen Lin?"
Liu Qi took a look at the young man in front of him. His thin figure and dark circles under his eyes... somewhat made him doubt whether this guy was taking drugs. I just made the call.
But as soon as Chen Lin spoke up, Liu Qi immediately gave up the idea.
Because Chen Lin actually spoke normally and did not show any signs of mental illness...
"I really thought it would take you a week to come."
Chen Lin smiled and nodded, and sat down opposite Liu Qi. "I'm from the association." Liu Qi still subconsciously regarded Chen Lin as a liar at this time, "I didn't expect you really dare to come to see me."
Chen Lin smiled and said nothing.
Liu Qi decided to make the first impression.
He motioned to the waiter in the distance to bring Chen Lin a cold drink, then stared at Chen Lin and sneered: "I'm not here to prove the so-called authenticity, because this thing is not real... ...I'm mainly curious to see what kind of liar you are."
Chen Lin was already mentally prepared, so his expression didn't even change when Liu Qi spoke.
This made Liu Qi, who had been observing him, couldn't help but make an initial judgment on his psychological quality.
"Every year, a large amount of information is reported to the association. There are monsters and monsters from all kinds of people, but it is 100% false... In order to make the arrangement real enough, some people even spend a lot of money to bribe the people around them to help them tell lies. "
"For such people, we always contact the local law enforcement agencies to punish them, and those who seriously affect public security will be imprisoned for a few days for reflection."
Liu Qi said. As he spoke, he stared into Chen Lin's eyes. He did not see any panic or avoidance in Chen Lin's eyes.
"So...you should understand what I mean."
Liu Qi picked up his cold drink and took a sip, and said slowly: "You don't look like a habitual criminal. There is still room for maneuver now, so go back quickly.”
After hearing what the fat man in front of him said, Chen Lin actually smiled.
“So you still think what I told is a lie?”
Liu Qi stared at Chen Lin with wide eyes and said in a deep voice: “Isn’t it true?”
"If you can really open a portal, I'll eat this table on the spot."
After the fat man finished speaking, he didn't think there was anything unexpected at all. He sighed: "I still had it last month. I met two magic guys who claimed to be able to connect to the divine world. Do you know why those two guys promoted this? They just wanted to trick ignorant girls into having sex with them!"
"I was finally arrested and reformed."
"A few months ago, I met someone who said he was possessed by the true god, calling himself the God of Peace, and he was also admitted."
" I said that compared to them, you are much less vocal."
"I am helping you to find your way back, you know?"
Chen Lin smiled and listened to the fat man's complaint. After finishing, he took his left hand out of his pocket.
"Do you know why I have to ask you to verify it?"
The fat man in front of me was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
"That's because of this."
>Chen Lin gently placed his left hand on the table, and there was a sharp sound. The table between the two of them instantly transformed into a green portal, and everything on it fell directly into it!
“?!”
Liu Qi suddenly leaned back, his expression changing dramatically.
After more than ten years of wandering around, this time I actually encountered the real thing!
